Tim Tebow Unveiling New Delivery
-
I'd take him with our second round pick.
In the end, that would be a steal.
The easy part of QBing is the footwork and arm position.
This isn't changing how the guy throws....just where he holds the ball.
He has all the tough stuff down pretty good.
I have a feeling both Holmgren and Mangini are going to like the kid when they sit down and talk football.
For a while now people have been talking all we need is a game manager....well, he is a game manager....and a lot more.
We could win championships with him.
I am a HUGE fan of this kid & I agree. I think he'll lead SOME team to a Championship some day. I'm hoping it's the Browns.

Tim Tebow = Gino Torretta

I am all for spending a second on him.
I was very critical of the guy his first couple years, basically because I see this kid with his bible pusher attitude getting all the good press, and I’m thinking this guy’s full of $hit, he’s out drinking whiskey and plowing whores just like the rest of us. Plus helping beat us down in the bcs title game didn’t help.
But He has grown on me and I think this kid is the real deal. He wants to win and he is defiantly a team player.
I don’t see his release or footwork being a problem he’s a qb and just needs a little coaching and he’ll get it. He has the root movements down now all he has to do is practice a better way of doing things.
Not much different than a major league pitcher that can only throw a 95mph heater, with some coaching and practice he will be able to throw a change up.
Tebow started working on improving his mechanics right after the senior bowl to show scouts and coaches that he can do it.
The only downfall that I see is that he can’t forget about the mistakes that he made like the elite qb’s do. He seems to get down on himself and stays down for the entire game; the senior bowl was a perfect example. Now how does that translate to the nfl when the game speeds way up and you are getting slammed to the turf? Most rookies are shocked at how much faster the game is and have a hard time adjusting.
But he did play in SEC arguably the fastest and best division in college football for the past 4 years, so that may give him a leg up.
But then again what ever happened to Chris leak?

Right, it was Leak, not Tebow that led Florida to that first title over OSU. And what kind of pro career has he had? None that I know of. I think he may be in Canada.
To me, Tebow is worth maybe a 6th rounder. Worth a shot if we have 10 other picks, but not worth the investment of a higher pick.

Could he impress enough to move into round 1? I certainly hope not! That would be a heck of a change...
He could become a Steve Young type QB if the delivery issues are taken care of.
If Holmgren thinks this is his guy don't be surprised if we take him in the 1st. It doesn't matter where other teams have him ranked because it only takes one team to take him in late round 1 to screw everything up.

Again what is a Steve young type qb????

Sure he can.....just wait for people to start talking to the guy. The guy is sharp.

Tim Tebow = Gino Torretta

I don't think so.
To the largest degree, Miami made Toretta with the talent around him.
To a large degree, Tebow made Florida, even with the talent around him.
There is a big difference.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

A QB who is a huge threat rolling out, he can break tackles if he runs but will accurately throw the ball on the run if that is the best option.

I am not so sure. Florida won with Chris Leak. They could have probably continued to win with the likes of Chris Leak, or Tim Tebow or Daffy Duck (well, maybe not Daffy....Donald Duck). I think it is a perfect apt analogy. I guess time will tell.

In Tebow's case, as with all players......We'll see.
IMHO, the kid is a winner & he'll do whatever is required to be a winner in the NFL. You can't coach attitude & pride....his are off the charts on the positive end.

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
I heard his new delivery involves snapping the ball, dropping back, praying really hard and then having angels deliver the ball to his receivers.
-
Chris Leak was terrible and had a very weak arm is why he never made it in the NFL... Tebow's biggest hurdle is gonna be learning to read defenses and not just take off running if option 1 isn't there..

Come on man.....you're just talking smack here......just admit it and we move on.
If not, you are seriously trying to say a cartoon character would be a better QB??

And you're telling me you wouldn't pay to watch that? Growing up "Angels in the Outfield" was one of my favorite movies.

From Rotoworld:
Long-time NFL coach and quarterback guru Sam Wyche is willing to put his reputation on the line that Tim Tebow will be an elite QB at the NFL level.
"If this guy can't be a starting quarterback in the NFL, then I was in the wrong profession for a lot of years," said Wyche, who has coached Joe Montana and Boomer Esiason among others. Though Wyche's eccentricities once earned him the nickname "Wicky Wacky," he's long been appreciated for open-mindedness and creativity. It's refreshing to hear a positive Tebow outlook from a respected offensive mind.
Interesting. With a lot of experts saying that there's nothing worth an early pick outside Clausen and Bradford, I would be all for gambling on a guy like Tebow, who could rewards the Browns a lot.

Hundreds and hundreds of college players had attitude and pride, but they still didn't get drafted, or got cut or whatever because they just weren't good enough.
Most knowledgeable scouts who get paid to evaluate these things don't give Tebow much of a chance. Now, they are occasionally wrong. Tony Romo went undrafted, as did Kurt Warner, and Tom Brady was only picked in the 6th round, but, overall, these guys do a pretty decent job of talent evaluation.
It seems like they are more likely to overrate a QB than underrate them. Look at all the first round busts in say, just the last 10 years. It is the very rare low pick or undrafted QB that makes an impact in the NFL.

tebow will find a niche in the league, that i'm sure. It's been said here a little bit, but i've heard from reporters, scouts and what we know to be true about Tebow is that he'll work his ass off to be the best player he can be. In some respects, I'd rather have a guy who I know is going to come to the field every day striving to get better with perhaps less football tools than a premadonna with a bunch of talent but is lazy. From the work ethic football standpoint, he's probably the best QB in the draft (maybe) haha.
With that being said, even despite his new delivery I wouldn't take him before late 3rd or 4th. I'd almost bet right now though that the Jags take him with their 2nd round pick. IF he falls that far and we take him, I wouldn't be upset.
